[attachment=294454:myrupp.jpg]I have a '71 Rupp Magnum 440...it was originally a '72 Nitro chassis ,and440 drivetrain, but someone had ripped out all of the bracing, hinges, and hood pieces...they replaced the tank and jammed on a '71 Magnum 400 hood. It was a mess when I bought it, and it's more of a rebuild than a restore, but my Dad had one when I was a kid and I loved that sled, soooo...it's still not totally finished, but it runs and looks okay. Here's a pic from the Vinatge Rally at Lake Belwood last weekend.
PS. My next project is a pair of basket case old Jag 340 free airs that I plan to build in to one not-so-basket case![/b]

hey i recognize that pic, i parked my sled beside that tree near the legend right neer the end. i showed up late cause i had problems and missed the ride but it was a good day full of sledding and got to look at a few old sleds.

And a whole bunch of off brand stuff and a few mixed in polaris' and yamis way too much to list. between me my dad and uncles we have well over 300 of these things... Its out of control but its a whole lot of fun[/b]

sweet i was at bellwood with my 70 olympic and i got a pic of your sled my dad really liked it

I have a 73 Merc 440 max, I think this was the best looking sled of its time, I'm pretty sure I have the only one in this configuration
I need my fix in the summer too!
Anyone know where I can find new headlight covers they really make the look of this sled?
